“Youthful. Zesty. Punchy. As filigreed of talcy acidity and fine boned as the rest of the crew, this is guava, lemon grass and sherbet, teeming along a line of candied citrus chew. The wine will blossom in the medium term, but will not shy away from some aged furrows and complexity...94 points”

Straight Semillon has become an Australian specialty. Semillon is often blended with Sauvignon Blanc as in Bordeaux, Margaret River, New Zealand and so on. In Bordeaux, Semillon is responsible for the great, dry, oaked whites of Graves and Pessac-Leognan – Chateau Haut-Brion Blanc perhaps being the most famous. Semillon is a fascinating style as it greatly really varies in style from super crisp to super sweet. The grape has a very thin skin making it susceptible to noble rot giving an unctuous and delicious sweet wine, the most famous wine of course being Sauternes (and in Australia, Noble One). In Australia, the Hunter Valley is known for straight Semillon such as Tyrrell’s (Vat 1 being the most famous) and Margan. The taste is lively, is fresh and tastes of lemon and herbs and with time goes almost lanolin-like with a very golden colour. Despite the deep colour, Australian Semillon is NEVER oaked. Imagine the weight of a Chardonnay but with a super intense lemony freshness.
In France the n is silent whereas in Australia the n is often said aloud. It is a grape with incredible ageing ability, lasting decades – Tyrell’s are the masters of this grape.
